Japan's Manga Magazines: from the late edo to the postwar period

Japanese comic magazines, which began as vehicles for political satire, evolved into a form of popular culture through the influence of "Ponchi" cartoons and the pioneering work of artists such as Ippei Okamoto.Tracing the lineage of manga magazines that ultimately led to Osamu Tezuka, this volume explores their development through periods of censorship and social upheaval, featuring a wealth of illustrations and rare archival materials.
